Stress responsiveness in a wild primate predicts survival across an extreme El Niño drought
White-faced capuchins with a stronger stress response to previous droughts were more likely to survive a severe El Niño drought.

Hey #WildlifeDisease & #conservation folk, please check out our survey on attitudes to parasite conservation.

Are parasites important for biodiversity, would you remove them to protect host welfare, or something more nuanced? We want to hear all views to improve guidance for practitioners 🪱🧪🌍🧵1/n

Per an NIH source:

“Discussions with colleagues have suggested that if the universities all come together and raise hell about the delays to funding caused by not holding meetings, that might move the needle. From every state. There are well-funded universities in red states that will be impacted.”

This quote by @anthrofuentes.bsky.social resonates deeply:

“Growing up human means growing up in a world of varying gender expectations, body types, reproductive options, family structures, and sexual orientations.”

Science answers the question “is sex binary” by revealing that there are diverse ways of being male, female, or both.

After 9 years in the making, it's finally out (!) White-faced capuchins with a stronger stress response to previous droughts were more likely to survive a severe El Niño drought. Kudos to the heroic efforts of first authors Sofia Carrera and Irene Godoy. www.science.org/doi/epdf/10....
